Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Velikiye Luki could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
- It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.
